My FLF is growing leaves well and seems pretty happy in its spot by a west facing window but as it’s gotten taller it’s leaning more and more. Will the trunk snap if it keeps going like this? How do I correct it?
You need to be shaking the trunk frequently to promote thickening of the main stem. In the case I might look to lop off the top to get it to branch and reduce the weight on the end of the main stem until the plant is stronger.
You can add supports and many people do. But ultimately it won’t fix the underlying issue with the stem thickness unless you start helping the plant to do so

he is leaning to get to the other window; reposition him between the windows
